The 17″ has awesome resolution, but its screen clutch doesn’t seem to be as tight as it should be (given its weight)

Mine has the same problem. If the screen tilts more than 90 degrees from the ground, it’ll close on my fingers. Really annoying when you’re computing from bed. I need to figure out some way of wedging the screen open. Let me know if you figure this one out.

If you can see the server using Entourage, you can use the built-in sync services on the Mac to sync Entourage and iCal/Address Book and resolve that problem. Not elegant, but does work.

Er…What? What does the article have to do with light side v. dark side?

I think OSX is annoying because everyone tells you “it just works”. Then you try it for yourself and find out they lied! Well, most of the time it just works, but WinXP just works most of the time for me, too. I think the Dashboard is pointless. I occasionally use a Sudoko Dashboard widget, but that’s it. I’ve tried other widgets and just end up uninstalling them. Finally, I think Trader Joe’s bruschetta is addictive.
